So for me, when I have panic attacks, life feels terrible. And of course, I feel empty, meaningless. So then I learned meditation. But of course, I was young, I'm lazy boy. I love the idea of meditation, but I don't like the practice of meditation. I just mentioned to you when I practice breathing meditation, I feel stupid and I feel boring. And I hear my friends are playing.

So on a deeper level, there's excitement. Okay, now panic comes. Okay, heartbeat. At the beginning, I thought panic attacks are like heart attacks. So I checked with many doctors.

So that also helps.
